    Oh BTW Dansby Swanson's on pace for another 5 WAR season

    Will Sanders got hit around a bit but I'll take 5 Ks and no BBs on a bad day. Now sitting at 44 and 8 respectively on the season.
  3. Bertz
    Not the top story with the offensive fireworks but Luke Little with 5 Ks in two scoreless innings is a lot of fun In 13.1 IP since getting back to Iowa, he has 17 Ks and has only given up 8 baserunners

    This is Greene's first start off the IL, and he didn't do a rehab. You should expect a fairly short day from him, something like 70 pitches? So this game should be a little easier than it looks on paper.

    I would imagine this is because Alcantara's hit in the 5th should have been more than a single (an actual example of a batter loafing it)

    A 4 second home to first is elite, you're just mad over eyewash

    I think with any long time Rockie there's some possibility for quick player development wins, as by acquiring them you're essentially time traveling them 10 years into the future. But if he just is who he is, hard hard hard hard pass. Money is way too tight next season to burn that much on him.

    I'm excited. The ceiling is probably not super high unless he can really level up at 3B, but the bat is legit. Maybe the most likely guy at Iowa to be an above average player?

    I'll say if xFIP and xERA both agree on a guy it takes a *lot* to make me think there's something they're both missing. Like we're a couple hundred innings into Assad doing this and I still don't feel confident in it being sustainable moving forward.

    Just checked and it was a sub 4 second home to first time lol

    I just went back and watched the play because I was curious and the complaint is even more silly than I realized. He absolutely ran it out.

    I'd be pretty surprised if Wiggins were moved. Both for the lack of other high velo SP arms on the farm and for his 40 man status.
  15. Bertz
    Same, pretty similar to Brown on Monday. Ugly box score but ultimately a lot more good than bad IMO.
  16. Bertz
    Not super shocked that the folks at Undertone don't know how to set a frequency cap
  17. Bertz
    Nope *sigh*
  18. Bertz
    Wiggins got smacked around a bit but has 9 Ks through 4. At 81 pitches he probably gets to at least start the 5th?
  19. Bertz
    I probably wouldn't have sent Shaw down in the first place, so glad he's back up. Relatively soft landing here too over the next two weeks. The Reds' pitching staff is solid, but A) they obviously play in a bandbox and B) we're getting their lefties which should bode well for Shaw. Jonny Long needs to slide over to 3B at Iowa. If he's even adequate in the field he's next man up if Shaw flops IMO.

    FG gave him 50's or better on everything but his fastball, so definitely not JAG. I think he's similar to Connor Noland. Not a guy I'm writing into the projected 2027 rotation, but someone who seems destined for quality big league innings and should be pretty valuable through at minimum his option years. Javier Assad without the huge ERA/FIP delta basically?
  21. Bertz
    The Dodgers are about to get swept at home by the Angels, lots of silly horsefeathers can happen in a short weekend series.
  22. Bertz
    I'd assume Brujan starting these last two games is a "one last shot to show us something before we cut you" deal. The team tends to do this with the roster bubble guys.
  23. Bertz
    238 hitters have at least 100 PAs at AAA. Among them: - Owen Caissie is 1st in barrel rate, 15th in hard hit rate, 8th in xwOBA - Jonny Long is 18th in barrel rate, 1st in hard hit rate, 10th in xwOBA Shaw and Ballesteros are 6th and 18th respectively in xwOBA, but don't get there via gaudy exit velos.

    Will Sanders last three outings: 16 IP, 0.50 ERA, 18 Ks, 2 BBs, 8 H, 51% GB
